Canvas & Orchids Retreat

So lucky to be one of the few to venture here. Peace, tranquility with a touch of jungle luxury. Excellent new roads and a short private boat ride, greeted by enthusiastic eco aware, local team made our stay a dream. The Khmer people of Cambodia are so friendly. Safest county I have travelled to in a while (except Laos perhaps).

Probably one of the most chilled places I have visited. So relaxing and peaceful. The floating tents are fabulous and just sitting on your terrace gazing at the river is such a great way to destress. The staff are so friendly and food is excellent. I’d highly recommend a visit

Went there as a couple and with friends, and we were all enchanted by this place. The location and environment are unique, on the Tatai River surrounded by jungle and mountains. It’s the most beautiful area I visited in Cambodia. Beyond the location, the resort is also unique with large floating or on land tents with the comfort of a luxury hotel. Very good food and services on top of all these make it an amazing experience for an immersive nature retreat.

We were genuinely inspired by the thoughtful personal touches provided by the staff throughout our stay. Just a few examples that made our experience truly memorable: Each morning, hot water and freshly baked cookies were delivered right to our tent for a cozy start with coffee. The staff took the time to introduce us to the gardener, who was not only responsible for the beautiful surroundings but also kindly managed the tent’s curtains during rain. A friendly mechanic personally came by to introduce himself and assured us that any issues would be addressed immediately—such attentive service! We stayed for 2 nights, but it felt far too short to soak in everything this magical place offers. The comfort, care, and serene atmosphere make it an ideal retreat. We strongly recommend staying at least 3 nights to truly experience the charm and relaxation this place provides. It's simply perfect.

The most amazing relaxing location and the friendliest staff you could wish for. Idyllic! The set menus each night were surprisingly varied and nicely presented. Cocktails not great but it didn't matter given high standard of other aspects. So great that it has given locals opportunities to stop them hunting and preserve the rainforest, while also teaching them English and hospitality. Loved the night time firefly trip, jungle hike and waterfall trip. Thanks to all ＜3

The setting is nothing short of magical. We arrived through the mountain road from Battambang which is largely unpaved but in the midst of massive investment - it was a 6 hour drive through the beautiful scenery of the Cardamom Mountains and a far superior drive compared to the one from / to Phnom Penh. From the embarkation point you sail for 30 minutes on a traditional longboat soaking up the atmosphere of the river. The sense on arrival is awe inspiring. Staff is enthusiastic and incredibly welcoming and helpful. Tents are very spacious and comfortable. Well appointed also. Plenty of fans though of course no air conditioning and the tents get quickly very hot in the morning but are fine in the evening and at night.
